Social Share Buttons: setup and help

Follow the steps in Quick start.

Open the module through Module Manager > Social Share Buttons > Configure. The form exposes two settings.

The network IDs are facebook, twitter, pinterest, linkedin, whatsapp and email. X uses the stored ID twitter. Internally, the selection is saved as a comma-separated string such as facebook,whatsapp,email. You select platforms in the Back Office rather than typing this string into a text field.

For a smaller list, select Facebook, WhatsApp and Email. For a visual catalogue, you can select Pinterest along with Facebook, WhatsApp and Email. There are no API keys to configure.

The module renders a Share: label and SVG platform icons through displayProductMetaShare and displayProductAdditionalInfo. The latter is a fallback when no sharing block has yet been rendered. The final location depends on your theme's product hooks. The stylesheet loads through displayHeader on product pages while the module is enabled.

The block uses normal HTML links and CSS. It does not load platform SDKs or front-office JavaScript and does not record share counts or set its own tracking cookies. Social websites open after the shopper follows a link. Email uses the browser's configured mail handler.

The product URL comes from the presented product when available, then the PrestaShop product-link helper. The product name supplies the share text on platforms whose URL accepts it. In the following patterns, the values are URL-encoded:

Test at least two products and compare their links. The module does not create Open Graph metadata, choose social preview images, offer a custom share-message field or add Telegram. Check your page metadata separately if a platform shows an unexpected preview.

The standard setup targets product-page hooks. It does not provide CMS or blog placement controls. If a custom product theme lacks a supported hook, a developer can add one appropriate call with product data:

{hook h='displayProductMetaShare' product=$product}

or:

{hook h='displayProductAdditionalInfo' product=$product}

Place the call where you want the row. Check for repeated output after changing hooks. A theme can override views/templates/hook/share.tpl at:

themes/your-theme/modules/mprsocialshare/views/templates/hook/share.tpl

Use these classes for theme CSS: .mprshare-container, .mprshare-label, .mprshare-btn, .mprshare-facebook, .mprshare-twitter, .mprshare-pinterest, .mprshare-linkedin, .mprshare-whatsapp and .mprshare-email.

.mprshare-container { margin-top: 16px; }
.mprshare-btn { width: 40px; height: 40px; }
.mprshare-btn svg { width: 20px; height: 20px; }

• If the row is missing, check Enable, Networks, the product hook and whether the hook receives product data.
• If a row has no icons, select supported networks and save. Unknown stored network IDs have no matching template branch.
• If the row is unstyled, check modules/mprsocialshare/views/css/front.css, the product-page header hook and theme overrides.
• If email does not open, check the visitor's mail handler. The module only outputs a mailto: link.
• If a platform refuses a share or chooses a different preview, inspect the generated link and that platform's response. The module does not control the external share dialog.

Use Integrity for installation checks. The module also provides configuration, license, support and update controllers.

Set Enable to No and save to hide the row. To remove the module, use Uninstall in Module Manager. Uninstall removes the module's shared configuration entries and admin menu. Your product data stays in PrestaShop.
